How the heck do you remove the 16:9 lense :(

[C-Mac]

I just bought a DVX and a Panasonic 16:9 lense and I can't believe I'm asking this, but I honestly think my Panasonic 16:9 lense is stuck on the front of my camera...
I can loosen the srew, then it just lense can be spun around easily, but it won't come off, I've tried force, but I don't want to break the camera

thank you,

Re: How the heck do you remove the 16:9 lense

you need to tighten the screw and then unscrew it.. I know its ass-backwards but trust me.

a bayonet mount would of been the better design level.. as it would also prevent people from incorrectly trying to add filters between the adapter and the lens that doesnt work. If it attatched the same way as the hood there wouldnt be these problems... but there is probally a good reason they didnt.

Thanks again, it really is kinda simply once you know how to do it... you'd never believe I took a sony TRV900 apart and replaced the hot shoe mounting plate without a hitch
